I live there and spoke with one of the girls that works in the front. She is leaving by the way. If they are telling you there's a waiting list, that's bull. She said they only had one new rental in September. They are getting more desperate because the word is getting out about how badly it's managed and how the had affordable rent to get people in and signed, with every intention on raising if you want to stay. Every time I look out my windown someone's moving out. I love my apartment but I just don't think I want to stay with the way they've handled things. Not to mention they don't feel any obligation to reveal the cause of the fire. That makes me feel really safe! Not.

TerraMar is still better than any other apartments in the area.
Call it supply and demand or new management, a rate increase its going to happen. I bet many who are renting privately or through another management company had an increase in their rent too. Not as much I'm sure but I would take new (TerraMar) over old and out dated (Point of View) anytime.

To whom it may concern,
Be advised that Terra Mar is raising their prices approximately $200.00 per month per
unit for anyone that wants to renew their lease.
They told my daughter that if she did not give renewal notice (60) days before the contract is over, they will raise her rent $300.00 to $400.00 per month instead! This just happened this morning!
Nowhere in her current contract is that spelled out, but the agent said too bad that's the way the new owner is changing it.
They obviously do not care about anything but money! She will be leaving at the end of her current contract because of the way they are treating her. Anyone signing a new contract needs to read it carefully because it seems that they do not honor any contract they write!
Demand for your product does cause greed and cockiness. This happened to Centex Home builders years ago and now they are gone.
Just a word of caution to anyone who is looking to rent or renew! GOOD LUCK

Call the State Fire Marshall and ask for a copy of his report.

As I recall it, they couldn't determine the cause of the fire. I think they ruled out lightning and electrical (ground). The property was turned over to the construction co. and the owner. And that was fairly quickly after the fire. I'm just going on memory but I believe that's what I read in the days right after. As far as management, when it was all still under construction, my husband applied for the maintenance position directly with the owners (from Atlanta?). He got a call from the home office and they wanted to talk to him within a couple of weeks when they got down here. He went up there 3 or 4 times thinking he had an interview. In the meantime, They hired a manager and that manager never called him to come in to interview. He is very well qualified and we live very close, but feel like she (I'm fairly certain it was a woman) never interviewed anyone and gave the job to a friend or relative. After reading all this, I'm glad he didn't get the call. It would have been nice for him to be within a mile of home, but poor management is a huge downfall for any business and trickles down to every last employee.

I just drove through Terra Mar and the grounds are awful. The other place...Assisted living facility's landscaping is awful too. I predicted the front would be a pond after a little rain and it is. So then it can't be mowed because of the standing water. Yet, they water it. You'd think it would be better maintained. I also saw a public notice in the front of TM on 98 I believe is a request for signage alteration. This is a fairly new development and it already looks bad. And I get it...I don't want to mow my yard in this heat either, but I'm not seeking long term renters to pay me money to stay on my property either.

My husband and I are going to ride through the complex today. Maybe we'll stop in the office and ask them why the hell it looks so bad. Maybe I can shame them into some upkeep and call them on their bull****. :nono1:
